The Wizard of Bristol, L Francis Herreshoff is world renowned for the beauty and performance of his designs, the Bounty class ketch AARLUUK being one of the most attractive examples. From her beautiful bow with varnished sprit to the classic stern overhang with wineglass transom, ARRLUUK is a modern classic ketch that is a standout wherever she travels.

ARRLUUK is a yacht of uncommon grace with exquisite design and build details. Examples are low freeboard, classic trunk cabin and traditional oval aft cockpit. On deck there are varnished teak trunk sides with custom opening ports, salon skylight, varnished cap rail and mortise and tenon dorade boxes, raised forepeak companionway and dedicated engine room entry.

The interior features beautiful varnished mahogany woodwork with raised panel doors and cabinets. All lockers have positive catches. The teak and holly cabin sole has a compass rose inlay design at the base of the companionway. The cabin sole is fully removable and has locking pulls. A graceful waterway under the ports runs the length of the interior of the trunk cabin. The white tongue and groove headliner detail is supported by white and mahogany faced deck beams.

In addition to being a standout wherever she cruises, ARRLUUK offers comfortable accommodations and modern equipment for cruising. The swept back spars are carbon fiber, reducing weight aloft and maintenance. All new rod rigging was added in 2006 and the deck hardware is polished stainless. Machinery includes a powerful Perkins diesel and AC power is provided by an 8KW Northern Lights generator.
